Dears,

I have almost 4 years of experience, of which 1.5 years with a company which has bankrupted and changed its name. Unfortunately, during my working time there, the salary deposition was irregular and I didn't get paid for 6 months.

I can provide an old experience letter, my contract and my work permit. However, all of these are under the name of the old company.

If I made a decision not to claim points for the above work experience, my score would be 453 (I'm still waiting my master's degree report from WES). The question is, if I got an invitation with this profile and I explained later on LOI why I'm not claiming any points from the mention experience above, would it cause an issue? or it should be better to include in the work experience which would boost my score to 478?

Hi ,

If you are not claiming points for some work experience and still have sufficient points, it won’t create any problem for you.

You will need to mention this work experience in personal history and if want to then explain in letter of explanation.

I have done the same for my profile where I pushed earlier work history to personal history section and didn’t claim any point for that
